Excellent location. It had enough of everything to accommodate the amount of people staying. Ie enough seating at the table, sofa etc which sometimes can be an issue. Yes. It is very tight to drive around the back and then through the gate, but we drive a Nissan X Trail and we managed it. Would stay here again.

Lovely spacious and comfortable home. Great family get together space in kitchen and sun room which we used everyday. Would recommend staying to anyone visiting Whitby. House has everything you need. Definitely would stay again. Only challenge was driving nearby roads and parking as was very tight. Roads are narrow and all houses have their bins outside in alleyway. Also when we arrived there was a car parked slightly over driveway. Took a few back and forth attempts to reverse into driveway occasionally moving peoples bins to accommodate. Once parked it was a safe place.

Stayed here previously and the property meets all our needs.The central location with parking is difficult to find in Whitby so is a major plus.We’ll be looking to return next year.
